Episode 50: Something Strange in the Speakers: Creepy Sounds and Studio Legends

Send us Fan MailHave you ever heard something in a song that made you stop, back it up, and wonder, “What the hell was that?”This week on “Who Ordered the Pie?” we’re exploring the creepy sounds and studio legends hiding inside familiar records. From the haunted streets of The Specials’ “Ghost Town” to the unsettling world of Peter Gabriel’s “Intruder,” we’ll hear how musicians turned studio experiments, unexpected accidents, and a little imagination into something wonderfully strange.Along the way: The Beatles’ “Blue Jay Way” and “Strawberry Fields Forever,” the eerie cries of Pink Floyd’s “Echoes,” and the infamous scream in Ohio Players’ “Love Rollercoaster.” There’s backward listening, a Phil Collins drum connection, and a chance to hear the sounds yourself before the stories get into your head.Then we head to the bar for “The Phantom Note,” a gin-and-elderflower cocktail with a quiet herbal mystery in the background.Listen closely. And maybe leave the hallway light on.Support the showWho Ordered the Pie? a music history podcast with custom cocktail pairings.
